Cannot look up Chinese characters #32

It seems that contrary to the description, it is not currently possible to look up another language's words. For example, the English Wiktionary's entry for 仁. The app just says that nothing was found.

Yes, it's a known issue of the upstream Wiktionary API. See https://github.com/johnfactotum/quick-lookup/issues/13#issuecomment-739115045. Note that the bug only affects single character words. It works for multiple-character words.
